Wayne, I've found OWYHEE heaven just for you!

Hi Winters, I'v found a website you'll  ,  it's called "Buckaroos in Paradise". I don't remember if I sent you something about it before, but I just saw it & it's great. It's an on-line museum of northern Nevada, eastern Oregon & some Idaho ranches; cowboys; cattle; etc. & 233 old photos listed in photo index. Click on the photos to enlarge. I got all excited when I saw "stone house ranch" but it was a different one. I thought I saw Wayne in several round-up photos but I guess cowboys look alike. There's videos & audios too, of old cowboy interviews.

I bet they'd love to have your photos of the stone house & horses and those old newspaper stories of the Winters cowboys. I was on the website over an hour before Boyd made me quit to eat. It's on my "favorites" list so I'll go back when I have more time. Let me know here or e-mail me when you see it or if you've already seen it.

We're doing fine except Rylee had both eyes operated on last Wednesday & they over corrected them.  He's seeing double now & wearing glasses & a patch. They might have to operate again but David hates to see him suffer. Rylee was allergic to something & itched all over expecially his eyes. Poor little guy.

Early HAPPY BIRTHDAY THELMA. There's a birthday card in the message below for all our April birthdays. Hope you all had a good Easter. We were at Sheryls with Betty & Evan, had a delicious dinner & great day. Rylee lost his first tooth there & we found out that the tooth fairy now brings $5 with an extra $1 on special days like Easter. Inflation!

I've added a few more photos, family recipes & more Kids Corner items to this webpage, take a look.    LUV you guys. Bye for now, Leslie

Letter to all the gang.

Hi family,
     If David stops sending me instant messages from work I will get this written & wish you all a great Easter  I tried to get a card on here like smarty pants Sheryl but I wasn't smart enough. Tried for half a day. 
     Boyd is between well-drilling jobs, Rylee home for Spring vacation so while they're at the store I thought I would drop you all a note.
     I have canceled my long-distance phone service because they made me mad.
So if you want news from the Wood family, you'll have to look here.  I'll miss those Sunday telephone visits with Thelma. 
     We're all well and busy.  I'm still scanning photo's to my web page and adding genealogy.  Boyd is doing Spring clean-up of  the yard, garden & barn.  Rylee's got glasses {when he leaves them on}and has his eyes operated on in two weeks. It's out-patient surjury.  He will miss a couple of days of 1st grade.   I'd better close for now as I've run out of news but would love to hear from all of you, Whats Up?    Leslie
